“Vite Sparse is nomadic by choice. We cannot welcome you in the cellar or take you for a walk through the vineyards: we don't have any. Our employees will be happy to do it [...]” (Fb, 2021)



Is it possible to make wine without having a vineyard or a cellar, but by investing in a territory and building a social network of collaboration between farmers, artisans and local realities? “Scattered Lives” is the answer to this question, a nomadic winemaking project, a story of grapes, landscapes, people.
The company “Vite Sparse” is proposed as a social entrepreneurship project based on itinerant vinifications.
From the site:
Vite Sparse does not own its own vineyards.
He goes in search of courageous farmers who have chosen an agricultural approach that respects the soil and the environment, rejecting chemistry in the vineyard. By re-establishing a fair price, we buy their grapes by proposing an alternative vinification process.
In this way, we believe in restoring value to the work of these farmers and to their raw material, avoiding, for example, their transfer to industrial productions.
Vite Sparse doesn't have a cellar.
We move with the grapes, renting tanks from small local wineries, which share our same ideals of wine as an expression of a landscape, of a vintage, of a variety. We believe in genuine, non-interventional vinifications that aim to accompany the fruit to its natural expression. All our wines come from spontaneous fermentation, are not filtered and, whenever possible, do not contain added sulfites.
Our wines are the result of collaborations with rural realities and artisanal producers.
By buying grapes at a fair price and renting space in cellars, we produce unfiltered spontaneous fermentation wines, promoting a connection between virtuous farmers and small wineries.

Vite Sparse is a social entrepreneurship project based on itinerant vinifications. Federico and Pietro, the creators, do not own their own vineyards and do not have a cellar. They are looking for farmers who have chosen an agricultural approach that respects nature. They buy the grapes at a fair price, proposing an alternative vinification process. When renting them, tubs are used from small local wineries, which clearly share the same ideals of wine. This is how wines from spontaneous fermentation come to light, unfiltered and, whenever possible, without added sulfites.
